Aedes aegypti (Dyar, 1920) was previously established in southern Europe and its disappearance from the Mediterranean is not well understood. Nowadays, this species is present in two European areas Islands Madeira and Black Sea area (Russia, Georgia and Turkey). In both areas populations are very...

Historically, Aedes aegypti (L.) was present in northern Chile between the cities of Arica (18°28′S/70°18′W) and Caldera (27°03′S/70°49′W). It was eradicated from northern Chile in the 1950s by the use of DDT. In April 2016, Aedes aegypti (L.) was once again detected in northern Chile after an...

This article discusses the possible risk of dengue, chikungunya and zika outbreaks in Europe due to invasion of Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus in the Black Sea Region, and describes the measures to control and eliminate these vectors and prepare for dengue, chikungunya and zika infection in Europe.

Aedes notoscriptus and Aedes aegypti are both peri-domestic, invasive container-breeding mosquitoes. While the two potential arboviral vectors are bionomically similar, their sympatric distribution in Australia is limited. In this study, analyses of Ae. aegypti and Ae. notoscriptus eggs were...

Competitive displacements or reductions of resident populations of insects, often effected by a related species, may be caused by a variety of mechanisms. Satyrization is a form of mating interference in which males of one species mate with females of another species, significantly decreasing their ...

Background: Epidemics of mosquito-borne viral infections such as dengue, chikungunya, West Nile and Rift Valley fevers in neighbouring countries and risk of introduction of exotic vectors into Iran have placed this country at a significant risk for these mosquito-borne diseases. Methods: After the...

Invasive mosquito species can increase the transmission risk of native mosquito-borne diseases by acting as novel vectors. In this study, we examined the susceptibility of three exotic invasive mosquito species Aedes aegypti (L.), Ae. albopictus (Skuse), and Ochlerotatus japonicus (Theobald) to La...

The development of globalization and global warming have provided more convenient conditions for the diffusion of the vector. Aedes aegypti is one of the major media for dengue fever in our country. There has never recorded of Ae. aegypti in the history of Yunnan province. However, since the first...

Previous research has documented low frequencies of interspecific mating in nature between the invasive vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. It is also known that heterospecific male accessory gland substances transferred during mating sterilize A. aegypti but not A. albopictus females,...

Two species of Aedes (Stegomyia) were collected in response to the first chikungunya virus (CHIKV) outbreak on Yap Island: the native species Ae. hensilli Farner and the introduced species Ae. aegypti (L.). Fourteen CHIKV-positive mosquito pools were detected. Six pools were composed of female Ae....
